Although John is clearly never going to be a star, we are not invited to mock him, more to identify with him and his hopes and dreams. The humour of John Shuttleworth is gentle and observational, bearing comparison to the work of Alan Bennett, being similarly rooted in a Northern English perspective.

Fellows has also written books as John and regularly tours in character. Most incongruously, perhaps, Shuttleworth played to 25,000 bemused Blur fans when he supported them at London's Mile End Stadium in 1996.

Shuttleworth was initially confined to home-produced tapes that were only circulated among Fellows' friends (some of these tracks later compiled on 'Blue John') but he gradually became more mainstream, with appearances on Radio 4 ('The Shuttleworths' series), Radio 1 ('Shuttleworth Showtime') and on Jonathan Ross's 'Saturday Zoo' on Channel 4, eventually progressing to his own TV shows ('500 Bus Stops', 'Europigeon') and films ('It's Nice Up North').

In 1985, having signed a songwriting deal with Chappell Music, he was played some of their bad demo tapes and was inspired to create John Shuttleworth, a man with a hum-drum life and little aptitude for pop music who nonetheless writes song after song on his Yamaha keyboard with "built-in auto-accompaniment". The creation/alter ego of musician/actor Graham Fellows, John Shuttleworth 'is' a middle-aged "versatile singer-songwriter" from Sheffield, South Yorkshire.Īchieving a UK hit single early in his career as Jilted John, Fellows followed the misguided advice of his record label to keep a cult profile and did not see any further hits. With releases in the UK, Europe, USA and Japan, The Lovely Eggs have played hundreds of gigs around the UK, USA and Europe supporting the likes of Half Japanese, Shonen Knife, The Slits, Young Marble Giants, The Television Personalities and Art Brut as well as a two month tour of America and a string of dates at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
